Thank you Scott. As an addict in recovery myself, I've known more than one fellow sufferer who decided "one last time" and not survived. Usually someone's partner or roommate goes away for a weekend and they figure, ok, one last time, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. For whatever reason they od, and are found on the kitchen or bathroom floor. There but for the grace of God go I. Soaking in hot water is bad for people on drugs. Just ask Whitney or her daughter. Happy 2024 Scott! Have a great New Year.

He lost his finger when he was just a little boy. I know way to much about Matthew Perry!! I adored him .!I’ve been in recovery for 12 yrs now and could relate to so much of his life. Poor guy!!! I hope he found peace that he couldn’t find here on earth.

Thank you for sharing this with dignity & respect. RIP Matthew Perry 🙏🕊️

He wrote about losing that finger as a kid. The amputation note is in line with that.

This is the best, least exploitative explanation of what happened without wild speculation and hyperbole. Thanks for that.

I was looking forward to your wise, relatable coverage of this tragic event & you came through in typically fine style, thank you so much. Perry's final decisions & inability to maintain his elusive sobriety are a haunting cautionary tale. May he rest in eternal peace. ✌️♥️

I really liked him. So sorry he’s gone. Rest in peace Matthew. Thanks for going over the results for us.

Hey Scott , are you planning on doing one on Lisa Marie Presley by chance? Or have you already I may be missed it?

I went up to his house the day after his death. I was jealous of him because I’d seen him years back after AA meetings in the Palisades at breakfast being fawned on and worshiped by some of the AA members. Meanwhile, I’ve stayed sober for 24 years now. No drugs, no alcohol, no meds no cigarettes, eating health food doing yoga doing my best and not having any money! What a world.

His final photo is so haunting. I pray he’s finally found the peace he endlessly and unsuccessfully searched for here on earth. Thanks, Scott.

As always you conduct these types of explanatory videos with such respect and grace. Thanks Scott. Hope you and Troy have a great, healthy and prosperous 2024.

His step dad was Keith Morrison of Dateline

Thank you for handling this with dignity and care. I've watched a lot of Friends reruns (was never a fan when it aired originally), and Matthew Perry was brilliant. When I heard the news, it was a shock. So sad that he left us so soon.

Thank you so much, Scott. It's sad that Matthew Perry wasn't successful in his battle against addiction. Sometimes, life is just too hard!! Take care and have a great New Year!

Such a sad end to a great actor. I love watching you and the full details you give are amazing. You know your stuff. I really hope he has the peace now that was so hard for him to find in life. Gone way too soon. Rest in Peace Matthew🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for not doing an endless biography before your report.

Thank you Scott. Matthew will be terribly missed.

I am glad he is at peace but am saddened he couldn't have been here with us longer. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year ❤

Still smoking, COPD, obese, years of drug abuse and fully vaxxed. Poor chap was lucky he lasted this long.

He had COPD, he was on weight loss drug, he was in warm water & had a high Ketamine content in his blood. Its just sad. Its so easy to see someone beat their addiction & get free from them, but what getting clean doesnt renew is all the physical toll many years of use & abuse of said substances do to a person physically & mentally over time. It would seem he was trying over & over & over to reach this goal & only to die after 18 mons of sobriety is such a tragedy. I hope he found the peace in death that alluded him in life & that he knows he is loved, appreciated & will be missed by so many. I dont think Ive ever heard a celebrity be so upfront about addiction as Matthew was in his book. It wasnt pretty & at a time when so many are trying to "appear" to have a perfect life via social media it was really courageous of him. He had said he wanted to be remembered as someone who helped people over his fame as Chandler Bing. He was humble & honest & those are rarities especially in Hollywood. ❤

I'm glad you covered this. I've seen 100 different versions of what occurred to him but those people irritate me and you don't. Have a happy new year!

Thank you for that. It clears up a lot. So sad that he could never completely recover from addiction. My dad died at 57 from alcohol. He couldn’t stop either. To anyone here in recovery: keep it up! Life is already too short.

thank you Scott for sharing ,how Mathew Perry passed 😢 i notice the last time i saw him on a show he wasnt looking well 😞 i just watched him on 90210 Rip Mathew Perry

Geezus. The Drs over medicated this man. As a dental hygienist, those were not his natural teeth. That’s a full upper denture. It effected his speech as seen in previous interviews the last few years. He may have not been wearing it and possible he had some mandibular teeth. Smoking does cause bone loss, especially on the maxilla ( upper jaw) and bone holds the teeth. Being a heavy smoker, he lost his upper teeth.

The unknown female is Jennifer Anniston. A news outlet about a week ago posted her statement which is spot on to what she said here.

Thank you for the respectful informational video. My heart is still breaking. Such a beautiful but tortured soul. RIP Matthew.

Thank you Scott, very respectful. What a sad end, I am just confused, as he was 'dressed', so he must of fallen into the hot tub? What a horrible end to a much loved man.

So sad to hear about the passing of Matthew Perry. With his outstanding talent and humor behind it, he left a profound mark in the entertainment industry. Remembering the hilarious moments and memorable characters he portrayed, we commemorate a talented actor and respected colleague. Sending condolences to the family and those who loved Matthew Perry. His spirit and talent will forever be remembered. Whatever the reason he left, I hope he rests in peace

Happy 2024 Scott!

I find it very interesting when you do these autopsy reports. Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

Not surprised at all Matthew was a struggling addict dealing with a lot of health issues gone too soon R.I.P.

I wanted to take a moment to message you about how much I love your content! l am an avid, regular consumer of your videos! . It’s a little slice of fun and I readily anticipate each new video! I’m sure all of this production is not easy and takes a lot of time - I for one appreciate your efforts and the time spent. Thank you so much! ❤ I miss your tour and museum! Happy NewYear to you and yours and here is to a fabulous 2024 to us all and all your new content 🎉🎊🍾

Hang on.. assistant left at 1ish returning and finding him at 4ish but they declared him deceased at 2 pm. Seems off in the timeline.

Reading his book i said to myself that i wouldn't be surprised if he died soon, little did i know i was right and it doesnt make it any less sad :(

Thank you Scott, very well presented and explained .

Hi Scott. Fascinating video. I pray that Matthew Perry has been granted the peace in Heaven that eluded him so greatly on Earth. Please keep up the great work. Happy New Year to you and yours.🎉❤ PS PLEASE consider doing one of your fantastic videos on Lisa Marie Presley. That would be so interesting. Thanks!

All the fame and fortune yet he lived and died a lonely sad existence. No wife. No kids. In the grip of never ending addiction atop his multimillion dollar mansion. I hope he is finally at peace.

Check the time sequence detail again... You said the assistant left at 1:37pm then returned at 4ish pm the fire rescue announced his death at 2:17? Sequence is out of sequence unless it was called the next day maybe? Love your videos

Thank you, Scott… I needed your soothing, comforting voice

Love you Scott Michaels happy new year!!❤❤❤

Excellent, per usual! Happy New Year, Scott and Troy 🎉🥳❤️

Happy New Year Michaels, love your channel and the respect you give the departed…

Happy New Year to you and Troy, as alway great video

Have a wonderful new year ✨️ Scott and Troy 😊❤

Thank you. Matthew 🕯 Have a safe and Happy new year!

Thank you Scott xx loved Matthew so much x I'll forever be sad that he's gone xx much love and happy new year ♥️

Hi, Scott. Your video is the only one concerning Matthew Perry that I'll watch. Happy New Year! OX

Thank you for this information. You always do great work. We love you Matthew❤ Rest In Peace🙏❤

Thanks for great info.

Fascinating thank you I learned so much

Very interesting Shaun. Happy new year sir.🎉🎉🎉

He was abusing the addiction Meds

Happy New Year Scott

As a fellow drug addict I am really glad that He got clean. One thing that I am very thankful for is that my Mom got to see me clean for 1 1/2 year's before She lost Her battle with cancer. I hope that someone reading this will see that their is help out there and please don't think that You are to far gone bc You are never too far gone. I will Pray for Matthew Perry's loved one's and friend's. I will also Pray for the one's who are addicted.

Well done, sir. Respectful, informative, and crystal clear. “Grief is the price we pay for love.”. Spoken by QE2 at the time of her husband of 70+ years death. I take Subutex myself. After a long history of opiate addiction. It is the form of buprenorphine that does NOT contain the ingredient that DETERS opiate use/abuse (Naloxone). I believe Mr. Perry couldn't take the form that contains naloxone because of his ketamine therapy. That would have made him sick I believe, even tho ketamine is NOT considered an opiate. Thank you and ❤️ you, from Seatown (Seattle!) 🌊🌊🌊

Happy New Year to you too. Troy!!

Thank you Scott I really admire you and love your videos. In my down time I love watching your videos. So much respect for the victims. Thank you.

Great breakdown, as always. We leave the EKG stickers on the body because it's a potential crime scene, and it has to be documented in every fashion on what we did coming into the scene (evidence preservation, destruction, and the new evidence we leave). We have to check with the EKG to ensure that the person is indeed dead. The Dr performing the autopsy is going to note everything, or should. No Dr will give you a time of death without an EKG with the patient in asystole (flat line). In other words, they did not try to save Mr. Perry. They were trying to get a time of death. I'm struggling with this report a bit because I still don't think he drowned. The findings on scene and in the autopsy do not support this, either. They say "likely drowning," so they're afraid to commit 100% to that idea. Drowning victims do not float, and you can tell if they drowned in fresh or salt water during the autopsy. If anything, suffocation would be the contributing factor. If he went unconscious and went face first into the water, he wouldn't have drowned, but the water would have suffocated him. Same difference to most people, but we need accurate data to make improvements. I've been to many calls for service where it was clearly a crime scene, and the decedent was not coming back. Once a time of death is obtained, there's a loud "everyone out and sign the logbook. Do not touch anything." Generally, all agencies there are allowed to take their equipment that is vital to get them back into service, but the trash and EKG stickers stay along with any other intervention in place at the time. Anytime someone dies outside of a clinical setting, we will investigate until proven it's not a crime (at home hospice not included unless you call 911 instead of the nurse). Thanks for explaining the fire ants, too! Have a happy new year!

If Matthew Perry's live-in assistant left the house at 1:37pm returned at 4:00pm, and made the discovery, then called 911, how could the Coroner's office possibly pronounce Perry dead at 2:17pm?

Scott, regarding the ECG patches, it is standard procedure, even in the case of obvious death, for paramedics to obtain an ECG tracing. Legally, asystole (flat-line), must be confirmed in two leads before paramedics can pronounce a death.

Happy New Year to you & Troy!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Scott, great to see you back in your DD uniform.

Thank you so much for All you do, Scott and Troy ❣️😇✨️🥰 From Kelly in East Tennessee. Happy 2024 to you Both!!! 👍🇺🇸👌😇✨️

Thank You Scott.

I was so hoping they wouldn't find any drugs in his system. I thought he was totally clean. I find it so sad that MP has been trying to get clean dating back to FRIENDS when he was in his 20's. I lost my brother to an accidential overdose. He was the same age as Matthew. You are free now Matthew, spread your wings. 😢

He was missing that part of his finger years ago even during friends. Looking forward to the famously haunted show Thank you ...I luv your channel. I actually bought Six degrees of heter skelter ...years ago. Still have it and I have been a fan ever since

Thank you

Happy 2024 Scott. A sad story well read. x

watching this an hour after you posted and already 2800 views. I've been a fan of yours for maaaany years. Bought the Manson dvd online years ago and it's still one of the best imo. Always been curious what you think of the book CHAOS? I found it prettty mind blowing.

Thank you so much! Love to hear an unbiased view. Also listened to Lisa Marie Presley's report this morning. Have you ever published a report on Benjamin Keogh or Elvis Presley’s death? If so, could you be so kind as to provide a link? It would be greatly appreciated. Keep reporting the the truth. It is very rare these days.

I just finished his book, I had no idea how bad and how long his addictions went for

This was respectful and insightful coverage of the loss. I’m sorry to hear the nitpickers affect your reading of the material. The pronunciation police need to make their own videos and leave yours alone. The rest of us don’t expect perfection from a fellow human.

Thanks! happy New Years Scott an Troy

Thank you Scott❤ Very Well Done. Mattman I hope you find your ☮️💖💞💙🩵🖤💜💚💛💙🩵💙

Happy New Year Scott 🙋🏽

Thank you Scott 😢

I think of his death like Karen Carpenter's. He traumatized his body for so long that he gave out. Smoked 2 packs a day with COPD? That's suicide.

This reminds me of what happened with Whitney Houston and also her daughter. Drug addiction can be so hard to combat even impossible for many ppl unfortunately. When you think of how many famous ppl end up dying too young from their addiction issues its so sad ☹️♥️

Luv your stories. My bucket list dream would be to ride around on a tour with you narrating! Have you ever done and episode on Shannon Wilsey? Would be interesting. She had lots of rock star contacts.

I'm glad I was intelligent enough to never try drugs and become an addict.

looking forward to more of your videos... have a great 2024

I really really hate drugs and how they destroy people in every way. May he rest now.

30mg of Subutex is a massive dose, the maximum dosage in the UK is normally 32mg with anything over 28mg being considered pointless depending on body mass so the poor chap was obviously still struggling with opiates or being seriously over medicated. When I went on the stuff I found I needed between 8-16mg to feel comforatable coming off between 0.5g and 1g of high grade (white) heroin a day and I'm a 200lb male. Ketamine can be taken by just about any route of administration though injecting or snorting are the most common and mixed with such a high dosage of Subutex really quite risky. This was very interesting and well presented, as well as sad.

Never been an addict don't ever intend to be one, I've ever seen the interest for drugs or alcohol...EVER

Ty Scott you did this with such respect. Our vet uses ketamine for surgery, I was surprised to see the other uses. Happy Mew Year🐾🥳

You can easily see in episodes of friends he was missing the tip of his middle finger. Real shame that he passed after all the work he did to get his life back on track.

Wow two packs of cigarettes a day?! I’m an ex smoker and that’s a lot!

Hi Scott. I'm enjoying your channel, although the subject of this video is sad. I have a couple of questions: Skin slip. I thought this was a result of decay, but Matthew hadn't been dead very long. Secondly, on the autopsy diagram, is the word "Circ" wriiten in the genital area? What's that - circumcised? I notice quite a few celeb autopsy reports mention circumcision for some reason. Liked and subscribed. Happy new year from the UK.

I watch Tubi a lot, so I'm looking forward to watching the show.

Happy New Year, Scott. I've read parts of the autopsy and COPD can also come from cocaine and Vicodin, which he once was addicted to. I'm wondering if he was on the ketamine pills because maybe they were weaning him off the infusion treatment and switching to oral meds. Sad he's gone. It still seems unreal. Please be safe and have a blessed New Year. 🙏❤️🙏

Thank You!!! Very sad. I get what others dont underdtand with Matthew theres just something there emotionally money cant buy!!! RIP MATTHEW ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a recovering addict of 15 years. Most of the people that I used to hang out with are gone. I stopped cold turkey. My Mother threatened to plant a size 5 up my back side of she ever caught me around a pill ever again. My money is on her.

They gave me that Ketamine stuff in the hospital ICU about 5 months ago. I didn't Know What was going on after it was given ! I was Frightened and Freaked Out when the nurse woke me to introduce me to the next Shift Nurse. I have Never Experienced anything like that Before, and I pray Never Again !! I was COMPLETELY WEIRDED OUT !! PLEASE ppl, DON'T TRY TO USE THIS AS A "HIGH" IT'S HORRIFYING !! DON'T USE THAT DRUG !!! It's DANGEROUS

How can he be pronounced dead at 2:17 PM, when the assistant didn't even get home until 4 PM ???? Makes Zero Sense

I hope now someone will try to stop the usage of ketamine for mental health problems. It is a anesthesia medication we shouldn't need to say anymore...

Mathew had an accident when he was 3 years old, he shut a door on his hand leading him to lose the top inch of his fingertip.

How does one get pronounced at 217Pm and wasn't found by asst till she returned @ 4:30 Pm. Listen to it again

Wait, the time are confusing me. Pickle Ball @ 11-ish AM Assistant leaves at 1:30-ish PM Assistant returns and 4-ish PM Pronounced and 2-ish PM It feels like this isn't real, 2 + a few days later. I still can't believe it.

He truly seemed like such a sweet guy! Famous or not i bet he was such a kind hearted person if you met him! 😭😭 🌹RIP Matthew🌹. You are missed!

There was no illicit drugs but there was pill tablet forms of ketamine in his stomach, which reveals he much have purchased bootleg Ketamine. The "prescribed" ketamine is given nasally under supervision.
